Parallel Computations of Unsteady Three-Dimensional Flows in a High Pressure Turbine
نویسندگان
چکیده
Steady (RANS) and unsteady (URANS) numerical simulations of three-dimensional transonic flow in a high-pressure turbine have been conducted. The results are compared by evaluating differences in contours of total pressure loss, contours of static pressure and wakes. Significant differences have been observed in these parameters, both qualitative and quantitative, which demonstrate that URANS simulations are necessary when the effect of stator-rotor interaction on flows in turbines is strong.

In this paper the characteristics of unsteady three-dimensional incompressible flows with heat transfer are obtained along with artificial compressibility of Chorin. At first, compatibility equations and pseudo characteristics for three-dimensional flows are derived from five governing equations (continuity equation, Momentum equations in three directions, and energy equation) and then results ...
